AMA Supercross: St. Louis Preview Hot

ryan_dungey_houstonThe battle of the Ryans continues this Saturday night as the 2010 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship heads to Edwards Jones Dome in St. Louis for the 14th of 18 rounds.

After winning his seventh race of the season at Houston last week, Monster Energy Kawasaki rider Ryan Villopoto tightened the championship race, his rival Ryan Dungey only leading by 12 points heading into St. Louis.

Dungey’s last win on his Rockstar Makita Suzuki came at round 11 in Dallas, but the Belle Plaine, Minn., native maintained his lead with a second-finish at Jacksonville and fifth at Houston.

With only a 12-point lead and four rounds remaing, Dungey needs to score a win this weekend if he wants to stay ahead of Villopoto of Poulsbo, Wash. The top three in points are currently Dungey with 277, Villopoto with 265 and San Manuel Yamaha rider Josh Hill with 217.

Although he has no shot at the title, Villopoto’s teammate Chad Reed returned last week at Reliant Stadium, the two-teim AMA SX Champion finishing fourth. His biggest rival, defending champion James Stewart, is still out of action, and nothing official has been released on his return.

During last year’s meeting, Reed took his third win of the ’09 season. The first race was held in 1996, with Kawasaki’s Jeff Emig taking the win before his native Missouri crowd. Supercross icon Ricky Carmichael holds the record for wins at St. Louis with four.

AMA Supercross will air at 2 p.m. (EST) Sunday, April 18, on CBS Sports. The AMA Supercross Lites race will be at 6 p.m. (EST) Sunday on SPEED TV.
